Warner Bros; BI
  • The finales of "The Good Doctor" and "Survivor" aired this week.

  • Theatrical releases like "Knock at the Cabin" and "Dune: Part Two" are now streaming.

  • Jennifer Lopez also stars in a new sci-fi movie on Netflix.

It's officially finale season over on the major TV networks.

"Survivor" and "The Good Doctor" both wrapped this week, the latter for good. Meanwhile, the final season of the supernatural drama "Evil" just kicked off.

If you're looking for true crime, Max has a new docuseries called "Hell on Earth: The Verónica Case" about one mother's quest for justice.

For something lighter, you can also check out "Thirst With Shay Mitchell," in which the "Pretty Little Liars" star travels the world and tries out unique drinks.

Here's a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you're looking for.

Want something to watch with your kids? Check out 'Jurassic World: Chaos Theory'

The new animated series picks up six years after the events of the earlier series "Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous," which aired from 2020 to 2022.

This is a great option to watch with slightly older kids (or younger ones who have an adult present to help them emotionally handle the concept of dinosaurs eating people).

'The Good Doctor' ended this week

Looking for sci-fi? Check out 'Atlas'

Jennifer Lopez's eponymous character, Atlas, is a "brilliant but misanthropic data analyst" who hates AI and is tasked with saving humanity from it. Between this and the vibe in portions of "This Is Me... Now: A Love Story," it's safe to say J.Lo is in her sci-fi era.

Horror fans should stream 'Knock at the Cabin'

M. Night Shyamalan's latest is an apocalyptic psychological horror film starring Dave Bautista and Jonathan Groff. On the Shyamalan scale from "The Last Airbender" (0) to "The Sixth Sense" (100), this one falls somewhere between "The Village" and "Signs" in terms of quality.

Streaming on: Peacock

'Dune: Part 2' quietly hit streaming this week, too

The hit film, which was released in theaters in March, is now available to stream at home. Judge for yourself what you think of director Denis Villeneuve's tweaked ending and how it might play into the forthcoming "Dune: Part 3."

Perhaps most importantly, enjoy Austin Butler's extreme baldness (no, but seriously, he's the real standout).

The final season of 'Evil' premiered this week
